Subject: Re: DOCBOOK: Errors in iso-num.ent ?
/ "Carole E. Mah" <carolem@mama.stg.brown.edu> was heard to say: | I discovered this when I discovered that the official docbook iso-num.ent | file already deals with some cases of this problem, namely < and | &. However, it does not deal with " and ; so I'm thinking | the same hack needs to be used for these as well (the hack being to make a | decimal code replacement rather than a unicode replacement for these | characters). I assume you meant " and ', not ;. There's nothing special about ; But I also don't know what trouble you're encountering with " and '. Since they aren't markup start characters, I can't imagine the circumstance in which they cause problems. | Am I right in my diagnosis of this problem, or should I instead be making | some modification to our XML Validator? I can't tell without more information. Can you provide a small instance that demonstrates the problem? Be seeing you, norm P.S. The fixes you provided are clearly in error. You have: <!ENTITY lt "#38#60;"> <!-- LESS-THAN SIGN : is really x003C --> Where you need <!ENTITY lt "&#60;"> <!-- LESS-THAN SIGN : is really x003C --> at least. -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | The stone fell on the pitcher? Woe http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | to the pitcher. The pitcher fell Chair, DocBook Technical Committee | on the stone? Woe to the | pitcher.--Rabbinic Saying
